and anti-government demonstrations to mark the two year anniversary of the protest movement in bahrain reportedly result in a teenage is. not from the new center here in moscow this is r.t. with the online on screen twenty four hours a day. one out of every four greeks including over half the country's young people around to work that's according to the country's latest unemployment figures with the jobless rate more than double the european average former greek m.p. of the center left panhellenic socialist movement eva kaley says that the dire situation is a result of the e.u. has failed economic rescue. well it seems that it's getting worse not better this is the famous rescue of greece from the european union they say that will reach

thirty percent of unemployment it means that while thousands of people lose their jobs every day in greece this is starting to become a humanitarian crisis and i think it's something that no one expected to see in the european union you see extreme poverty you see people that they tried to get a plate of food from the church we have two hundred fifty thousand people every day trying to get to the church to find food we are talking about the young people that they want to find a job in greece the trying to leave the country we're talking about people that don't have access to primary health services and i were talking about things that no one expected to see it seems that the plan for growth is taking two margin too long to take place so something has to change i do believe that germany has stuck to this plan and doesn't want to admit the mistakes where we listen every day of

things that could have big been better for greece if the plan was better if they had made a better estimation about what would happen but this is something that's not only numbers it's one thousand people human beings in the european union that lose their jobs every day this is creating a few months or a crisis inside the euro zone meanwhile some of being driven to increasingly desperate measures due to the ongoing crisis across the continent a french man committed suicide by setting himself on fire on the job center in the city of knots the forty three year old has been refused unemployment benefits in the country which is suffering its highest jobless rate for thirteen years of it as a silly has details. it said it reports that he had actually set a letter to some journalists saying that he was going to do this this week so the police had said that they had set of surveillance outside that employment agency but they didn't manage to see him he was already on fire they said he had entered

through a side street and therefore this tragedy had happened now the man did this after finding out that he is no longer eligible for those unemployment benefits and this is not the first time it has happened in france in august we know that a fifty year old jobless man had done the same and this is a worrying sign for france for a country that has seen its unemployment rising for the past twenty months and this after a president had been elected on a campaign of jobs and growth so we haven't seen any improvements on this monster a lot has declared twenty thirteen as a battle for jobs he said that by the end of the year there would be he would be creating jobs for the french people however statistics show that by midyear the number is set to rise and let's not forget that more than three million french people this number does not include people who have quit the unemployment program because they simply have exhausted all their benefits similar to the case of the man who had just burned him self and also those young people who had never registered or those who were in part time jobs if we look at the trend we've seen

a lot of suicides and attempted suicides in countries like greece one of the hardest hit euro zone countries because of this eurozone crisis there's a general feeling of a still in the country a lot of people going out in protest we've also heard of stories of suicides in italy another hard hit country so if we're looking at the trend that's happening in europe we hope it does not continue but we could see a lot more expressions of dissatisfaction. the pentagon wants those fighting us wars from a fart firmly in the spotlight defense secretary leon panetta has announced the creation of a distinguished warfare medal it'll be handed out to george street joystick wielding drone pilots who waged their battles without setting foot in combat zones earlier artie's only goodish to explain to my colleague what it takes to get the award. so your signature you have a joystick and you point click and then get an award essentially that's all it takes to get it together and medal which is supposed to rank higher than the bronze

medal which is given out to people who actually perform combat duty but according to the pentagon criteria i'm going to cite it here it will be recognizing a single act that directly affects the combat operation does not involve an act of valor and war incident word higher than the bronze medal so instead of having to go to the front line and risk the extreme bloody violence that you can just sit in your recliner with a joystick and maybe a couple to know for example and just wage war from about a thousand miles away. perhaps there is a there perhaps there's a basic knowledge of the territory somewhere in the border between afghanistan and pakistan that's involved but let's compare it just sitting around basically just sitting at a base to doing something like something that was done by sergeant william stacey in two thousand and eleven he received a bronze medal a bronze a bronze star which is considered to rank below the medal that we're talking about now what he did was receiving fire along with his squad from ten or twelve and the fighters from five separate fighting positions though outnumbered stacy in his

squad held back numerous flanking attempts and accurate and mean grenades and large caliber fire he was hailed for unquestionably saving the lives of his marines this is a citation from his award citation and he actually died in combat in january of two thousand and eleven so again this man apparently did a lot less than was a person sitting at an army base and pointing a mouse and clicking on their territory somewhere in the middle east is. brought in stores which as you say have now been. the main awarded with. praise for some very heroic deeds. that you were talking about here yes. that is in question was actually doing something on the ground right now we're talking about drone strikes we're talking about a very. questionable by a lot of institutions specially human rights organizations that practice of protecting the united states and the world from terrorism as the pentagon the you

know you don't own drone strikes. strikes where they target someone via satellite and view this brilliant camera on the drone they never hit civilians they only hit militants right that is the official version but they even had they had to change that which was which they have been written by them i mean the american officials the pentagon officials they stuck by that rhetoric for years until i think roughly two thousand and six when they had to acknowledge that yes indeed at least at the best half of the people who are being killed by the drone strikes are actually innocent bystanders in fact there has been a research done by various universities there was a study from from the new york university school of law as well as stanford university law school and they have said that roughly all out of those killed only two percent are actually high importance targets that is those are the only two percent of people who are being killed are known terrorists ninety eight percent

happen to be whoever it is very very disturbing numbers numbers are disturbing and i'm like to go back and remind you that now people who are doing this and who are basically responsible for it are going to be awarded a medal that is going to rank higher than somebody who actually lay down his life in the line of duty. talking to my colleague research a little earlier well there are no wars for cyber spying in the u.s. just yet but big brother is still watching the largest defense contract in the us develops software that can predict people's behavior by using social networks we report on that in a few minutes. before security is tight in libya ahead of the second anniversary of the revolution that toppled the gadhafi regime there are growing calls for protests and the threat of possible street violence reports say italian arms and troops are arriving in tripoli former m i five agent and he told me earlier that it's naive to think that western powers want to support democracy in libya. the people who invest

a lot of hope in the arab spring i think now they're beginning to realize the harsh reality that a lot of it was backed by the west and the west wants to strip their countries of the mineral wealth of the missing the spillover into other areas like mali and niger as well and this is all part of a bigger thing between us wanting to secure the minerals losses of africa generally and stop trying to getting them so in terms of democracy in arab spring you know i think it's very naive to think that that's what the west is trying to help these countries to achieve we've seen an absolute mess left behind by the nato invasion of libya which is what happened two years ago let's not mince words and that was problematic on so many levels not just the international legal level where suddenly aggressive war could be justified as humanitarian intervention even though it stabilized an entire country and results in many more deaths than could be prevented. but we're also looking at a situation now where the country has lost its stability where there are reports

coming out from independent journalists about militias still holding great swathes of the country and their power where we have competing fairly fundamentalist politicians police school groups as well fighting over their territory without any of the promised ability wealth and democratic values that were suggested when the nato went in so it's become such a mess and so many levels. clashes marked the second anniversary of the uprising in bahrain a teenager is killed in protests two years after the unrest first broke out but pro-democracy demands are still being ignored. and the picture about health is still no action following an independent report into hundreds of needless deaths in a u.k. hospital or not scandal coming up now in other news after this break. we

now with your mobile device you can watch on t.v. anytime anywhere. a week off the shocking revelations of needless deaths in a british hospital there are still no signs of action the fam. of friends of hundreds of patients who died due to neglect a calling for criminal action to be taken against those responsible and the former chief of another hospital says he was paid harf a million pounds not to talk about a similar situation elsewhere for has been following the scandal. but in the latest twist we've seen an n.h.s. whistleblower come out and say that he was forced to quit after he'd raise concerns about issues that he said endangered patient safety but this latest revelation comes on the back of the francis report that we saw last week now that was looking

into the scandal that happened at mit stuff which hospital where it's thought more than a thousand patients could have died between two thousand and five and two thousand and eight as a result of inhumane and degrading treatment warrant food stuff and hospital in september of two cents tonight used to disaster people you know to be probably. a little bit too it's one of. those that was left. on the floor we've been there to break the story you feel that same way to describe people not just. in the home to see. the sheet to go through what she went through the n.h.s. whistleblower he says that he was confronted with many of the same decisions and

concerns that were raised at mit started to hospital now he was the head of one of the hospitals a united lincolnshire hospital he was facing many of the same problems he claims the government targets but he refused to meet the faith that it would endanger patient safety meant that he then had to quit and was subject to a so-called secret gag to keep him quiet the whistleblower who spoke out gary hall could talk of a culture there and oppression and certainly it seems that a lot of these problems have been going on i think many many years now i'm joined by the head one of the members of the n.h.s. a political party new york political party that's been formed people within the health care profession and they're all very concerned about what's happening. in the n.h.s. right now when the mid staffordshire scandal was revealed very much the rhetoric from the government was that this was an exceptional case that this was it's not a one of it was particularly bad and yet we're seeing one of the hospitals being

investigated and it seems that nothing shocks just keep on coming isa price that this no i'm not surprised at this wild stuff the trip was particularly bad there of always being in the n.h.s. well most of the current been fantastic over the years in such a complicated organization and such a large organization there will be such incidents that have been for many years the real problem is that the that. the government do not seem to be able to learn from the old inquiries that of being from thirty years ago the hospital advisory service would report and i think the same things are still going on now because they're the chief executive of the n.h.s. they even nicholson to resign have so far been resisted he said that he has nothing to be saying dog and that during his time providing this is down to systematic they is so of course the people who are campaigning have been calling very hard for his resignation and saved by he has resisted that

a teenager has reportedly been killed in clashes between police and protesters in bahrain like libya the gulf state is marking two years since the start of the uprising the demonstrators say the demands to end it discrimination and release all political prisoners have not been met under based but only activist dominic covered says that despite attempts to hold talks nothing has been done. we're looking at two years in which we've seen in no reform we've seen nothing change i mean we started this uprising two years ago and on that day the first martyr of the uprising was killed and now two years later on the same day the fourteenth of february another teenager has been killed and this really shows and displays the lack of reform the continuous human rights abuses the continuous repression taking place on the streets of bahrain it's good the dialogue has come back on the agenda and there is discussions happening but it seems that you know this latest latest

escalation of security against the people is going to possibly put in jeopardy within the ruling family i think of course there are those who simply want to please the international community to say look we're having this dialogue there is not a great thing what's continuing the violations on the streets the people have come out on the streets time and time again saying they won't go out and they simply will not go until this reform and i think the fact that they stayed out. clearly proves that so the only solution is through dialogue going to admiration has to realize that. we also keep you updated online with more stories and videos and r.t. dot com here's what's waiting for you at the moment. real torture doesn't mean just physical pain find out on artie's website how arabic prisoners at guantanamo were driven out of their minds by the constant playing of heavy metal. plus canadian law enforcers allegedly use their power against those they're meant to protect investigation claims some missing and abused

indigenous girls and women were raped by mounted police more on that story on our website r.t. dot com. the u.s. president will be handed a petition calling for the release of a u.k. citizen who spent over a decade behind bars at guantanamo bay prison. shakeup was taken to the detention facility under suspicion of links with al qaida but he was cleared for release back in two thousand and nine the detainees never been charged tried well for more on this i'm now joined live by thomas b. will now he's a defense counsel for content of most prisoners so this money's never been tried he was cleared for release back in two thousand and nine why is he still there thomas i have absolutely no idea and let me just tell you a few things about shocker armor and this is referred to it as the interview because he was brought to guantanamo of i've been years ago today on february

fourteenth that's also the birth date of his youngest child february fourteenth whom he's never met so this is the eleventh anniversary of the injustice he was cleared. in two thousand and he was put on the obama list as people who are cleared for release he was actually told during the bush administration he should be released that he is still there is just an absolute outrage but why would anyone want to see at least why was he there in the first place presumably he did something wrong. no no i mean you you presume any arab in the area might have been doing something wrong he was accused and there are there's information in wiki leaks about why he was persecuted people linked him to knowing people in al qaeda in fact he was there with another detainees who was released about five years ago most on bag to start a girls' school in afghanistan he moved there with his whole family as part of to run this girl's school and he was false accusations against him and he's been

cleared i mean it's ridiculous there are people who are interested in his story might go to a film in the u.k. called outside the law done by andy worthington and polly nash it's an excellent film it talks about shakur ometer it's a it's a travesty of justice. and i'm embarrassed you know representing gone out on top of my detainees for some time now is he an exception or is this typical of what you have seen with all the cases. there are about one hundred sixty people a kuantan a mode today about fifteen of those are people who really could be charged with war crime psychology and they were brought to guantanamo afterwards are there other you know one hundred fifty or so people eighty six of them have been cleared for release and are sitting there the others are not even charged with anything are thought of to be really bad guys these are people ignored by the world but in your

experience or important issues in your experience how did they get even if they're not being charged for anything why would they end up in guantanamo in the first place. well shocker armor was sold for a bounty the united states drop of leaflets to do and offered five thousand to twenty five thousand dollars for every quote arab terrorists who would be turned in in an area where people make two hundred dollars a year that was enough as the leaflet said to feed your family for a life so any arab you found you could sell for about eighty that's what i want and that's why he was turned and that's why most and by a good for. all right let me ask you about this particular case this plea is going as far now to the u.s. president amnesty international is involved do you have any hope for him and other detainees who are under similar circumstances being detained. you know i have had hope for years that the united states would would you know correct

this injustice i have hope that president obama will do something about it there's no doubt he faces opposition within congress and there's no doubt the people that many republicans have pandered to fear but obama cannot let that stop him from doing just that these people need to be out shocker aamer should be out of guantanamo there is no reason for him to be there. thomas a lawyer and high profile human rights cases of guantanamo detainees it's really interesting to talk to you thank you for your time here on r.t. . big brother maybe watching every click you make online the u.s. government using new defense software able to predict your future behavior and locations in cyberspace however with the program only using data submitted voluntarily via social networks claims of privacy violations don't stick and so he's got to check on reports. those of you who are using social networks will find this interesting the world's fifth largest defense contractor raytheon

a multinational firm based in massachusetts came up with a software that can map out your life and be able to predict your moves your behavior based on the information that you provide on websites like facebook twitter or foursquare the guardian has obtained a video. where a raytheon staffer explains and shows how it works the program is called someone already branded it for spice it's just a few clicks and it creates diagrams chart maps showing who you've communicated with most online your associations and relationships places where you check in most you know over twenty five million people use this app called foursquare to alert friends of their whereabouts so the program uses that and also the photos that people take on smartphones often have led to today and longitude details automatically embedded in them so this ride program at a quick or two can analyze all that data and as the gentleman in the video claims

it can roughly predict where to find you at a given time and potentially your behavior based on your interests so this firm that developed the software a major defense contractor has acknowledged that the technology was shared with the u.s. government as part of a joint research and development effort to help build the national security system capable of analyzing quote unquote trillions of entities from cyber space that reminds me of the conversation that i had with william binney a mass imitation of spying software expert who had worked for the national security agency for decades and who told us that the government is spying on people on a much larger scale and that building social networks is part of it take a listen they were building social networks. who who is communicating with who inside this country so that your entire social network of everybody of every us citizen was being compiled over time so they're taking from one company alone roughly three hundred twenty million records

a day. that's over time that probably accumulated up to close to twenty trillion over the years mr binney blow the whistle on this n.s.a. program saying it is a blatant violation of the constitution but with this riot software one can argue that they can see information that individuals have already chosen to make public they put it out there and most people know that privacy safeguards that for example facebook provides don't hold water really and yet people try to share so if you don't want someone to be able to map out your entire life and to be able to potentially predict your behavior stop checking in everywhere and turn off location services on your phone or maybe you don't want that in that case no worries. time now for some of the stories around the globe in a world update one of the world's most celebrated sportsman oscar pistorius has been charged with murder after his girl from was shot dead it is home the man known as the blade runner made history last year after becoming the first double amputee to compete in the olympic games south african is believed to have told police that
